Julian May died the other day and I just heard the news. She wrote A Gazetteer of the Hyborian World of Conan -- as Lee Falconer -- and her Pliocene Exile Saga blew my mind when I read it in my early 20s. Rip-roaring, time-travel adventure that reads sort of like a cross between Zelazny and Brackett. Misfits from the future face savage beasts -- and stranger things -- in the Pliocene epoch. I think REH would've dug it. RIP, Julian. www.blackgate.com/2017/10/21/julian-may-july-10-1931-october-17-2017/  |

Her Gazeteer of the Hyborian World, and its wonderful accompanying map, are some of the coolest work that came out of 1970's Conan fandom. The Gazeteer was one of the only references I had while writing EMERALD LOTUS, and the map hung on my study wall for years. Salute. |

RIP Julian May. I remember the reprints of the A Gazetteer of the Hyborian World of Conan in SSOC.  |
